Peaches Geldof

I can't explain it, because she was just a minor celebrity cog in the universe, but I liked Peaches Geldof

. As many long time readers know, when Peaches would make an appearance on a red carpet or get her photo snapped by paps, I would generally post her photo. OK, I would post her photo every time. I found her fascinating. I don't know if it was because of her background or attitude, but she was a celebrity I never found annoying even when I heard she joined Scientology. She was always a little wacky, but was someone I always wanted to meet, but never did. There are very few people on my personal celebrity list that I would like to hang out with, but she was one who I would gladly have spent some time getting to know.

I remember when she got a job as a reporter. It lasted for one event because she kept asking questions of celebrities that you or I would want to know the answers to. As you know, that kind of questioning is unacceptable in the red carpet world of celebrity interviewing. She was only 25 when she died, but it seems like she was much older because she has been in the spotlight for such a long time. One minute she would be out drinking and have nude photos hit the internet from a hookup, and the next she would be getting a tattoo or signed as the face of a new company. There was no direction in her life. Lets not forget the strange first marriage she had or the warnings from Bob Geldof that she needed to straighten out her life.

With her second marriage and the birth of her two children, I felt like she had finally found her way. Yes, there was the occasional odd Instagram photo that would show up on her feed or the instance where she decided a phone call was more important than the baby in the stroller that had just crashed, but she seemed like she was getting her life in order. Gone were the two day whirlwind trips to LA and need for constant attention and publicity. Over the past year I have heard rumors and some of them I turned into blinds. For once though, I'm not going to do a blanket reveal of all the Peaches blinds. I feel for her husband and the two kids who are going to grow up in life without their mother, much like Peaches had to grow up without hers. Her mother taken from her by bad choices and an untimely death.

Police today reported there were no hard drugs found in the house and no suicide note and the coroner was investigating her death as natural causes. While the toxicology reports might end up showing something different, I hope not. Maybe it was her huge weight loss or the fight she had for much of her adult life with heroin addiction that ultimately killed her, but I'm going to remember her as someone who cared deeply about her family and friends. The person who thought friends were way more important than the car they drove or what they did for a living. The person who posted seven photos of her family and her late mother just twenty minutes before she was found dead. I will choose to remember all the good things I heard about her, rather than the bad. RIP Peaches. Give your mom a hug.

I have no opinion of Peaches but obviously it is heart-breaking that anyone so young should unexpectedly die. Worse yet that their father and husband must bury her and two small children will grow up not knowing their mother.

I cannot imagine my husband having to explain to our very curious 18 m.o. where mommy is. He would absolutely realize I was gone and become very, very upset. Her children will feel this. Deeply.

I write this with no judgement b/c I have a lot of empathy for those who struggle with addiction, but I do know of a guy I graduated with who got off heroin and dropped dead a couple years later (about her age, actually) b/c of the damage already done to his heart. No drugs were found in his system. I'm just wondering if maybe this is a similar situation. Which is really, really shitty b/c we always think that being clean protects addicts from such a fate.

She may have had internal damage done from years of abusing her body. Two pregnancies on top of that may have been too much for her.A healthy person needs time to recover between pregnancies. Having one child after another might have harmed her.I also liked her.

I loved her tweets. She was a beautiful soul. I personally think her heart gave in from all the weight loss. She has a family with medical problems in addition to their drug problems,so genetics were not on her side.

Very nice Enty! I am also happy to hear you won't be pulling out the blinds, especially if they were just rumors that turned into blinds. Let this tender soul rest in peace now. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Too young.

Poor Narny and WidWid, I wasn't a fan of hers until I discovered her on INstagram. There's 2 or so months between her eldest son and mine. Her Intagram videos and photos just oozed warmth and love, they were just a normal (Albeit more well off) family. As an AP parent she has done so much for the community in the media and through her social media, and educated people and made us look more "normal". I have to say as a 35 year old woman, I'm shocked how much her death has affected me. The thoughts of her two little boys waking up this morning looking for Mama. The fact they'll have no memory of her, after she agonized over how to do the best by them just kills me. After she was ridiculed for posting their pictures on Instagram,I'm so happy she has left a wealth of videos and photos on Instagram for them, so they have a record of their first years of life. Those poor little bys…:(

PS:Enty she posted that stuff on Sunday evening and was found on Monday afternoon.

Big mouth, very annoying girl with a sense of self-entitlement.And yet she would also come across as a lost girl, vulnerable and quite lovely.I used to see her on tv a lot and she did irritate me but at the same time I couldn't forget that she went trough some rough time and was doing the best she could. She was a young woman without a mum. Then she became a young mum without a mum. And it is sad.Last night I cried for her, and her sons.

I didn't realize that she had been clean for so long. She really accomplished a lot in her short life, given the chaos she grew up in. The last few years of her life are an inspiration to other young women. You can see the genuine love between Peaches and her babies – it's not the grab-the-baby-for-a-photo-op love that are in many of the celeb photos.

Peaches was beautifully in love with her children, that much was obvious. Yeah, she was young and there were some "what are you thinking?" moments but I think most parents have those. I'm feeling like her death will turn out to have been a tragic but natural end.

I also followed her Instagram and Twitter accounts, almost religiously. I fell so in love with her boys and loved seeing her blossom as a wife and mother. She had truly found her place in the world. I'm so devastated by the news of her passing and hope it was not by her own will or negligence, because I truly believe she would never leave those boys without a mother, when she had the same awful experience as a child.

I'm so sad for her lovely husband. A widower at 24, with two children under 2. Both boys birthdays are later this month and I can't imagine how devastating that will be for him and the rest of their family to deal with. She was the kind of mother I hoped to, one day, become. Her life was only really beginning….. :'(

A beautifully written, thoughtful, respectful and articulate post. Thankyou Enty, for choosing to be a better person than to slander the name of a much loved mother, wife, daughter and sister.

Regardless of how anyone may feel about her, she was hopelessly in love with her children and husband. She had turned what could have been a very tumultuous life, after such a tragic childhood, into one full of love and happiness with her family, and that is what she should be remembered for.

Rest in peace, Peaches, darling. Wherever you may be, I hope you're finally back in your mother's arms. xx

Peaches, daughter of legendary rocker Bob Geldof, had recently tweeted the names of two mothers who had offered their babies to be raped by an alleged illuminati member who later admitted to the crimes after being outed by Geldof. http://youtu.be/pBLbHp_LTm8

beautifully written Enty. this is what I came here for today. I too am very sad about Peaches death. how tragic for history to repeat itself in this way. my heart aches for her babies and family. whether she was clean or not I find this terribly sad. and for all of you little snipping Cunts like WARECAT PARIS SUCKS LITERALLY AND TEXAS ROSE bitching about Entys writing/blinds/and well there was the heroin: now's not the fucking time to bitch you snotty little tar hearted bitches, fucking stow it.

I too was shocked and saddened by the news that Peaches had died. I did not know her but I followed her on Twitter and enjoyed her daily mommy posts. I really hope that heroin was not in the picture. As a recovering junkie, I always feel survivor's guilt when someone dies from an OD, whether I knew them or not.I felt the same saddness when AnnaNicole Smith died.

Thank you Enty for not being mean.

I hope her memory will go untarnished for the sake of those two beautiful baby boys.

So you don't think everyone deserves the same courtesy in death? You don't think Philip Seymour Hoffman or Heath Ledger or L'Wren Scott loved the people they left behind? It's a bit rich for Enty to have such sympathy and courtesy for the Geldofs and Cohens but not the other people he gossips about.

My husband has been gone (through no choice of his own) for almost a year and a half. My son was only 2 when this went down, and I am still trying to explain that Daddy will be home as soon as he's able.

I still cry when I hear him say he misses his old home (we lost EVERYTHING) and his Daddy.

I cannot imagine how I would explain to him that Daddy was never coming home.

I didn't really keep track of Peaches as I thought she was a timebomb and it scared me a little how reckless she used to be. I didn't expect it to end like this though, two small boys and a husband all of whom adored her and her them … it's so incredibly sad what has been taken from them, the Geldofs and from her. Far too young to die just as she seemingly figured it out.

Just a couple of things to add. Firstly I would be shocked if her passing was the result of 'damage done from heroin abuse' as some have speculated here. Heroin is not at all toxic, it is far safer as a drug than alcohol (which is indeed toxic). The danger from heroin comes in two forms, the manner of ingestion and the impurities in the drug. As I see it the only way long delayed death could be blamed is if the impurities caused damage to Peaches over time. This seems very unlikely to me, the cut in heroin is often baby laxative or powders from pills. Again, not toxic enough to cause damage.

Considering Peaches history I would be surprised if IV heroin overdose was not the cause of death. She had a serious addiction and contrary to common beliefs the period when a person is cleaning up is actually the most dangerous period. I fear that she did not have an addiction but went back to the drug as a one off. Its already established she was an IV user, the tolerance for heroin very very quickly drops. My guess is that unfortunately she injected an amount as a one off that she would have usually taken. With her tolerance being so low she would have overdosed. No drugs were found but this would be the case if it was one off use. Heroin is incredibly difficult to permanently close the door on (Hoffman comes to mind) and I speak directly from experience in as much as being trapped in my own battle. Tragic loss considering her two young children, very sad. And for those tempted to condemn, judge not lest ye be judged.

@jared terry Jared, bless you in your battle, and bless you for seeing it as a battle and not as an Emo lifestyle choice. I agree with your theory about the manner of her death.

I think some of the anger here is not directed at Peaches so much as the legacy of drug abuse and resulting tragedies that run in some celebrity families and cliques. Most drug users do not have parents that used, but there are some celeb parents who do, or who have. If you do the math, it was sometimes even when children were still at home.

Peach's passing reminds me of that of Edie Sedgwick. Edie was finally happily married, and died of an accidental overdose (maybe a one-off) as you suggest.

WRT the theory that she was off heroin for a while and then injected too large of a dose and OD'd – would this not kill her very quickly after the injection? Because the police said that there were no signs of drugs, and certainly she would have been found with a needle mark in her skin and a needle nearby, no?

And unless her husband or someone else cleaned it up before the police got there … which is doubtful since in any attempt to revive her they would have wanted to give the paramedics as much information as possible and wouldn't have concealed the heroin use, most likely…

I don't know if she was ever anorexic but severe anorexia can damage the organs, especially the heart. Although I haven't heard of it killing someone who had regained weight and had two children…

If you look at recent photos she posted she had very dark circles under her eyes. I wonder what caused those?
